Bouygues: First-quarter 2025 results
FIRST-QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
Paris, 14/05/25
GROUP OUTLOOK FOR 2025 CONFIRMED, IN A
VERY UNCERTAIN MACROECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL
ENVIRONMENT.
- Group
sales: €12.6bn, up 2.2% year-on-year
- Group
current operating profit from activities (COPA):
€69m, up €43m year-on-year
- Equans:
improvement in COPA and margin from activities year-on-year,
reaching €177m and 3.8% respectively, demonstrating
successful execution of the strategic Perform plan
-
Construction businesses: backlog at a new record level
(€34.2bn) at end-March 2025, providing good visibility on
future activity
- Net result
attributable to the Group (excluding the exceptional income tax
surcharge for large companies in France) amounted to -€123m,
improving €23m year-on-year.
- The estimated
total impact of the French Finance law and the Social security
financing law for 2025 (mainly the exceptional income tax surcharge
for large companies in France) on the net result attributable to
the Group is confirmed at around €100m for the full year, of which
around €40m was booked in the first quarter of 2025.
- Net result
attributable to the Group amounted to -€156m, and therefore, cannot
be compared to that of the first quarter 2024
- Robust
financial structure: very high level of liquidity (€14.8bn) and
significant year-on-year improvement in net debt to
€7.1bn, including net acquisitions of close to €1.2bn over
the year
The Board of Directors, chaired by Martin
Bouygues, met on 13 May 2025 to close off the first-quarter 2025
financial statements.
As each year, the Group’s first-quarter
results are not indicative of half-year and full-year performance,
mainly due to the seasonal nature of business at Colas, and to a
lesser extent, at Equans.

(a) Up 0.9% like-for-like and at constant exchange
rates.
(b) Includes PPA amortisation of €29m in first-quarter 2025 and
€23m in first-quarter 2024.
(c) Includes net non-current charges of €19m in first-quarter 2025
and of €42m in first-quarter 2024.
(d) Net debt at end-March 2025 included net acquisitions of close
to €1.2bn over the year.
-
Sales in first-quarter 2025 were
€12.6 billion, up 2.2% versus first-quarter 2024, driven by
Colas, Bouygues Construction and Bouygues Telecom, reflecting the
first full-quarter contribution from La Poste Telecom.
Like-for-like and at constant exchange rates, sales increased 0.9%
year-on-year.
-
Current operating profit from activities (COPA)
was €69 million, up €43 million year-on-year, driven
mainly by Equans, where COPA increased €44 million
year-on-year.
- The net result attributable
to the Group was -€156 million. Excluding the
exceptional income tax surcharge for large companies in France, the
net result attributable to the Group was -€123 million1,
improving €23 million year-on-year. In particular, the net
result attributable to the Group includes:
- amortisation and impairment of
intangible assets recognised in acquisitions (PPA) of
€29 million (up €6 million year-on-year);
- net non-current charges2
of €19 million, which do not reflect the operational
performance of the business segments. This mainly includes
non-current charges related to the Management Incentive Plan at
Equans and non-current income related to the sale of data centres
by Bouygues Telecom;
- financial result of -€97 million,
compared with -€74 million in first-quarter 2024. This change
was mainly due to the impact of the La Poste Telecom acquisition,
and a decrease in the return on cash and cash equivalents related
to lower interest rates, which was nonetheless mitigated by the
increase in average cash and cash equivalents over the period;
- income tax expense of
€63 million, which includes the exceptional income tax
surcharge for large companies in France for an amount of €42
million, with a particularly distorting effect on the first
quarter3. In first-quarter 2024, income tax expense was
€7 million.
- share of net results of joint
ventures and associates amounting to a €9 million loss, versus
a €4 million loss in first-quarter 2024. This change notably
results from losses at certain Bouygues Immobilier co-promotion
companies and Bouygues Telecom joint ventures.
- Net debt was
€7.1 billion at end-March 2025, an improvement of
€645 million versus end-March 2024, including net acquisitions
of close to €1.2 billion over the year, especially the
acquisition of La Poste Telecom. Net gearing4 was 50% at
end-March 2025 (versus 55% at end-March 2024). The change of around
-€1 billion at end-March 2025 versus end-December 2024 (net
debt €6.1 billion) is linked to seasonal effects in the
beginning of the year, and is more limited than last year.
OUTLOOK FOR 2025
Outlook for the Group
In a very uncertain global environment, the
Group’s six business segments will continue to prove their ability
to keep pace with developments in their respective markets. They
will pursue their efforts to improve profitability. As a result,
the Bouygues group is targeting for 2025 a slight increase in sales
and current operating profit from activities (COPA) versus
2024.
The effects of the French Finance law and the
Social security financing law for 2025 on net profit attributable
to the Group are estimated to date at around €100
million.
Outlook for Equans
In 2025, Equans will continue to roll out its
strategic Plan. It is targeting:
- Continued organic sales growth, at
a lower pace than in 2024;
- A margin from activities close to
4%, possibly slightly higher;
- A cash conversion rate
(COPA-to-cash flow5) before working capital requirement
(WCR) of between 80% and 100%.
As a reminder, Equans aims to gradually catch up
with the organic growth of sector peers and to achieve a margin
from activities (COPA margin) of 5% in 2027.
Outlook for Bouygues
Telecom
For 2025, Bouygues Telecom is targeting:
- A slight increase in sales billed
to customers versus 2024 (like-for-like, excluding La Poste
Telecom), to which is added the contribution from La Poste
Telecom6;
- Broadly stable EBITDA after Leases
compared to 2024. In 2025, Bouygues Telecom will no longer benefit
from the very favourable low hedged energy prices arranged in 2020
and 2021. La Poste Telecom’s contribution to EBITDA after Leases
will be limited in 2025, with the full effect expected from 2028
;
- Gross capital expenditure of around
€1.5 billion (excluding frequencies), including expenditure related
to the preparation for the migration of La Poste Telecom Mobile
customers.
Outlook for the TF1 group
In an advertising market with very limited
visibility, the TF1 group confirms its objectives for 2025:
- Strong double-digit revenue growth
in digital;
- Broadly stable margin from
activities compared with 2024;
- Aiming for a growing dividend
policy in the coming years.
DETAILED ANALYSIS BY SECTOR OF
ACTIVITY
CONSTRUCTION BUSINESSES
At end-March 2025, the backlog in
the construction businesses (Colas,
Bouygues Construction and Bouygues Immobilier) set a new
record at €34.2 billion, up 12% year-on-year7,
driven by Bouygues Construction and Colas, and providing good
visibility on future activity. The backlog was up in the three main
geographies, which are France (up 9% year-on-year),
Europe8 excluding France (up 8% year-on-year) and
international excluding Europe (up 19% year-on-year).
- The backlog at
Colas totalled €15.1 billion, rising by
€1.3 billion or 9% year-on-year (up 12% at constant exchanges
rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions, notably
reflecting the disposal of Colas Rail Italy in third-quarter 2024).
The Roads backlog rose 5% year-on-year, improving by 5% in France
and by 6% internationally. The Rail backlog was up 18%
year-on-year. At end-March 2025, the backlog at Colas to be
executed in the current year (Y) and next year (Y+1) was higher
than at end-March 2024. Colas recorded an order intake of
€4.1 billion in first-quarter 2025. The order intake for Roads
showed strong growth internationally and a slight decrease in
France year-on-year. In Rail, the order intake increased sharply
year-on-year following the signature of major contracts in the
first quarter. These included the contract to develop the
high-speed rail line between Kenitra and Marrakesh in Morocco
(worth around €250 million, together with a contract worth
around €170 million to provide the related civil engineering, under
the Roads activity) and an eight-year contract to operate and
maintain On-Track machines in the UK (worth around
€380 million).
- Bouygues
Construction’s backlog stood at €18.3 billion
at end-March 2025, up €2.6 billion or 17% year-on-year (up 15%
at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and
acquisitions). This was driven by Civil Works and France Building,
where backlogs increased by 37% and 7% respectively year-on-year.
The backlog at International Building decreased slightly by 3%
year-on-year. At end-March 2025, the backlog at Bouygues
Construction to be executed in the current year (Y) and next year
(Y+1) was higher than at end-March 2024. In first-quarter 2025,
Bouygues Construction’s order intake was €2.3 billion, broadly
supported by good momentum in the normal course of business
(contracts of less than €100 million), representing 71% of
total order intake in the period, and by several major contract
awards. For example, in the first quarter, Bouygues Construction
won contracts to build the new mother-child unit at Rennes Teaching
Hospital (worth around €100 million), the new Cardiff and Vale
College campus in the UK (worth around €140 million), a data centre
in France (worth around €110 million), and to modernise airports in
Cyprus (worth around €120 million). These contracts highlight
Bouygues Construction’s know-how in specific business lines such as
healthcare infrastructure, academic buildings and airport
facilities.
- Bouygues
Immobilier continues to face a challenging market
environment. In France, Residential property reservations
nevertheless improved year-on-year. Commercial property activity
remains at a standstill. The backlog was €0.9 billion, down
€106 million or -11% versus end-March 2024.
The construction businesses reported
sales of €5.5 billion in first-quarter 2025, up 3%
year-on-year9.
- Sales at Colas
rose 3% year on year10, lifted by Rail (sales up 12%
year-on-year), which benefits from sustained momentum related to
demand for soft-mobility infrastructure. Sales were up 2%
year-on-year for Roads, with France up 2%, the EMEA (Europe, Middle
East, Africa) region up 6%, North America down 9% and Asia-Pacific
up 29%.
- Bouygues
Construction’s sales rose 3% year-on-year11.
Sales rose slightly for Civil Works (up 1% year-on-year). Sales for
International Building increased very strongly (up 13%
year-on-year) and were down slightly for France Building (down 1%
year-on-year).
- Sales at Bouygues
Immobilier increased 3%12 versus first-quarter
2024 in a still challenging market environment. Sales from
Residential property advanced 4% year-on-year, and sales from
Commercial property remained at a very low level.
In first-quarter 2025, the current
operating loss from activities (COPA) in the construction
businesses was €240 million, an improvement of
€24 million year-on-year. COPA margin in the construction
businesses improved by 0.6 points to -4.4%.
- At Colas, the
current operating loss from activities was €305 million,
broadly stable year-on-year. As a reminder, Colas’ first-quarter
results are not indicative of half-year and full-year results, due
to the seasonality of its activities.
- Bouygues
Construction’s COPA increased €10 million to
€72 million in first-quarter 2025, and its margin from
activities was 2.9%, improving by 0.4 points
year-on-year.
- The current operating loss from
activities at Bouygues Immobilier was
€7 million versus a current operating loss from activities of
€26 million in first-quarter 2024 related to an adjustment of
structure costs implemented in 2024. In the first quarter 2024,
provisions had also been booked on certain operations.
EQUANS
The backlog at Equans at end-March 2025 was
€26.4 billion, up 1% year-on-year13. Order intake
in first-quarter 2025 was €5.2 billion. The underlying margin
of the order intake continues improving steadily.
Equans posted sales of €4.6 billion in first-quarter 2025,
stable year-on-year. It reflected overall positive market trends
and its continued selective approach to contracts strategy. Equans
has observed some short-term wait-and-see stance in a few
activities in France and Europe14, which was reflected
in the order intake and sales. International sales increased
despite Equans gradually exiting the new-build business in the UK
(building of new homes, notably social housing) due to unfavourable
market conditions. Sales in France were down slightly.
COPA at Equans was €177 million in first-quarter 2025, up
€44 million year-on-year. The margin from activities was 3.8%,
up 0.9 points year-on-year, demonstrating the strong discipline in
the execution of the Perform plan in all of Equans’ operating
units.
BOUYGUES TELECOM
Bouygues Telecom maintained a solid commercial
performance in Fixed in terms of volume and value, benefiting from
good momentum in the B.iG and B&YOU Pure Fibre offers, launched
late 2024. At end-March 2025, FTTH customers totalled
4.3 million after 148,000 new customers were added in
first-quarter 2025 versus 134,000 in first-quarter 2024. The Fixed
customer base was 5.2 million, equating to an additional 69,000 in
first-quarter 2025 (versus 38,000 new customers in first-quarter
2024). The share of Fixed customers subscribing to a FTTH line
continued to increase, reaching 83% versus 75% one year earlier.
Bouygues Telecom continued extending its geographical
footprint across France. To date, nearly 39 million FTTH premises
have already been marketed. In the first quarter, Fixed ABPU
increased by €0.7 year-on-year to €33.2 per customer per month.
Bouygues Telecom reported solid commercial
performance in Mobile, reflecting its new strategy. The initial
results from the B.iG plan are satisfactory in terms of customer
acquisition and growth in the number of convergent households, and
are showing the first positive effects on churn, in line with the
customer loyalty strategy. Mobile plan customers excluding MtoM
totalled 18.3 million as 63,000 were added in first-quarter 2025
(versus 17,000 in first-quarter 2024).
In first-quarter 2025, Mobile ABPU including La Poste Telecom was
€17.5 per customer per month15, in a still competitive
market in the low-end segment, with low prices for new
customers.
Sales billed to customers reached
€1.6 billion, up 6% versus first-quarter 2024 or 1% excluding
La Poste Telecom. Organic growth in sales was achieved through
Fixed. In total, Bouygues Telecom’s sales were up 5% year-on-year,
of which Other sales, which mainly consist of Handsets, Accessories
and Built-to-suit sales, were up 2% year-on-year.
EBITDA after Leases came to €415 million in first-quarter
2025, decreasing by €14 million year-on-year. This lower
figure reflects, on the one hand, growth in sales billed to
customers and continued efforts to control costs, and, on the other
hand, an increase in the IFER tax16 levied in relation
to the operator’s mobile sites, as well as higher energy costs now
that Bouygues Telecom no longer benefits from very favourable low
hedged energy prices. EBITDA after Leases margin17 was
25.9%, a decrease of 2.3 points year-on-year and includes a
dilutive impact related to the La Poste Telecom acquisition.
Current operating profit from activities at Bouygues Telecom was
€101 million, down €29 million year-on-year as a result
of lower EBITDA after Leases and higher depreciation and
amortisation in line with the gross capex trajectory. Current
operating profit was €92 million, including PPA amortisation of €9
million. Operating profit was €101 million and includes
net-non-current income of €9 million notably related to the
sale of data centres.
Gross capital expenditure excluding frequencies was
€394 million at end-March 2025 (versus €476 million in
first-quarter 2024).
TF1
The TF1 group maintained its audience leadership
in first-quarter 2025, with an audience share of 33.0% in the
WPDM<5018 category and of 30.1% among individuals
aged 25-49.
The TF1 group reported sales of €520 million in first-quarter
2025, representing a 2% increase year-on-year (stable like-for-like
and at constant exchange rates):
- Media sales rose by 2%
year-on-year, with advertising revenues stable. Advertising
revenues at TF1+ maintained strong growth momentum (up 37%
year-on-year).
- Sales at Studio TF1 (formerly Newen
Studios) were €59 million in first-quarter 2025, stable
year-on-year, including the €9 million contribution from
Johnson Production Group (JPG) and reflecting less significant
programme deliveries than in the prior-year period.
COPA at TF1 was €43 million, up €6 million
year-on-year. The cost of programmes was similar to the figure for
first-quarter 2024, with premium programming maintained for both
linear and streaming. The margin from activities was 8.3%, an
increase of 1 point year-on-year.
FINANCIAL SITUATION
At €14.8 billion, the Group maintained a
very high level of liquidity, which comprised €3.8 billion in
cash and cash equivalents, supplemented by €11 billion in
undrawn medium- and long-term credit facilities.
Net debt at end-March 2025 was €7.1 billion, versus
€6.1 billion at end-December 2024 and €7.7 billion at
end-March 2024. This represents an improvement of €645 million
year-on-year and includes net acquisitions of close to
€1.2 billion over the year, especially the acquisition of La
Poste Telecom. The change versus
31 December 2024 (around -€1 billion) was linked to seasonal
effects in the beginning of the year, and was more limited than
last year.
In first-quarter 2025, the change in working capital requirements
and other was a negative €0.9 billion, which is usual for the
first quarter, yet lower than in first-quarter 2024.
Net gearing19 was 50%, an improvement
versus end-March 2024 (55%).
At end-March 2025, the average maturity of the
Group’s bonds was 7.4 years, and the average coupon was 3.01%
(average effective rate of 2.25%). The debt maturity schedule is
well spread over time, and the next bond redemption will be in
October 2026.
The long-term credit ratings assigned to the
Group by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s are: A3, stable outlook,
and A-, negative outlook, respectively.
SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE
INITIATIVES
The Group’s People First programme embodies its
core human resources and ethical values. It rolls out strong
commitments in favour of the environment and society as a whole. It
fights climate change by launching new products and services to
help customers reduce their environmental impact, whilst cutting
its own greenhouse gas emissions at the same time, and by helping
to preserve resources and protect biodiversity. Tangible examples
of these solutions were on show at the ChangeNow event held in
Paris from 24 to 26 April. The Group is also continuing its
efforts to enforce strict compliance with ethical business conduct
and maintain trust-based relations with its suppliers and
subcontractors.
